Glass Joe
'Punch-Out!!' character
Glass Joe, as depicted in Punch-Out!! for Wii. Designed by Eddie Viser.
First gamePunch-Out!! (arcades)

Glass Joe (グラス・ジョー) is a fictional French boxer from Nintendo's Punch-Out!! series of video games who hails from Paris, France. He first appeared in Punch-Out!! for the arcades and a game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) of the same name. In both, he was decidedly weak. His most recent appearance was in Punch-Out!! for the Wii. In all of these games, he was the first boxer that the player characters fought. The character was designed for the NES game by Makoto Wada, and was redesigned by Eddie Viser for the Wii game, where he was voiced by Christian Bernard. Glass Joe is considered by critics, including freelance writer Sumantra Lahiria, as a stereotype of French people, due to his ineffectual nature and cowardice. The stereotype was expanded when the developers of the Wii game, Next Level Games, introduced Glass Joe's love for luxurious things, such as gourmet coffee, by means of a series of cut scenes before the match with him. Other critics commented on his stereotypes, including editors for GamesRadar and Retronauts.

Glass Joe has become a well-known video game character since his debut in the series. He is considered an icon of Nintendo and one of the most well-known characters in the Punch-Out!! series. He has been used as a symbol for weakness by critics from media outlets, including Wired, UGO Networks, Nintendo Power, and TeamXbox. His name has also been used by sportspeople to comment on either a specific sportsperson or a kind of sportsperson.

Concept and creation

Glass Joe is a French boxer, hailing from Paris, France, voiced by Christian Bernard in the Wii Punch-Out!!. The NES Punch-Out!! version of Glass Joe was designed by Makoto Wada, and the character was redesigned by Eddie Viser for the Wii game.[1][2] He has characteristics of racial stereotypes of French people due to his cowardice and weakness.[3] His name was conceived by Genyo Takeda as a play on the fact that he has a glass jaw, which signifies his inability to take a head blow. Next Level Games, the developer for the Wii game, depicted Glass Joe as fashionable, showing him in front of multiple French landmarks, including the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower.[4]

Appearances

His first appearance was in the first Punch-Out!! arcade game. Afterward, he appeared in Punch-Out!! for the NES (previously known as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!), and years later in Punch-Out!! for the Wii. Glass Joe was one of the first characters revealed for the Wii game.[5] In every video game in which he has appeared, Glass Joe has fulfilled the role of the first opponent for the player's character. However, the Wii game also features a mode called Title Defense, wherein Glass Joe and other boxers are modified to be more difficult. In this mode, Glass Joe is depicted with protective headgear.[3]

Cultural impact

Glass Joe has become an icon of Nintendo and is considered one of the most identifiable characters in the Punch-Out!! series.[6][7][8] GameDaily's Chris Buffa listed Glass Joe as one of the most unappreciated Nintendo characters and expressed a desire to see him in another game, but with a "fighting chance".[9] The Daily Telegraph's Tom Hoggins described Glass Joe as a "deliriously entertaining creation" and a "wimpy French man".[10] G4TV's "jmanalang" referenced knocking out Glass Joe as a memorable moment for him.[11] In his review of Super Punch-Out!!, the first Punch-Out!! game that did not feature Glass Joe, Allgame's Skyler Miller commented several times on the character's absence. He felt that it didn't "seem right to have a Punch-Out!! game without him".[12]

Glass Joe has been used as a negative title applied to real-life sportspeople such as Derek Anderson, Darnell Dockett, and the players on the North Penn football team.[13][14][15] ESPN's Bill Simmons wrote that the fight between boxers Wladimir and Chris Byrd was like watching "Glass Joe become the champ in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out".[16] New York Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett stated "The last thing you want to be is a Glass Joe".[17]

Racial stereotyping

Glass Joe's French stereotypes have been discussed by critics such as writer Sumantra Lahiri and Eurogamer's Oli Welsh.[18][19] GamesRadar's Brett Elston wrote that Glass Joe embodied the stereotype that French people "are wimpy cowards who love expensive coffee, fancy baguettes and apparently must live within 100 feet of the Eiffel Tower at all times".[20] IGN's Craig Harris called him a "baguette-loving Frenchman who speaks in fluent Pepe le Pew dialect", whereas he was originally a "generic, weak white guy".[21] Harris discussed him again in another article and wrote that he "crumples to the floor if a housefly lands on his chin".[22] One member of the Retronauts podcast stated that he identified Glass Joe as simply a "weakling" until he learned more about French stereotypes.[23] The Wii game depicts Glass Joe shooting croissants from himself whenever he is knocked out, which Wired's Chris Kohler used as an example of how the game enhanced the ethnic stereotypes found in previous games.[24] Writer Scott Jones wrote that "Glass Joe is from France, so of course he sips espressos before his fights, and when he gets knocked out, baguettes literally fly out of his head".[25] GameDaily's Chris Buffa felt that the stereotypes could be considered "funny or insulting", while Giant Bomb's Ryan Davis felt that someone would have to have a sour disposition to take offense to become insulted by them.[26][27]

Difficulty

His low level of difficulty has contributed to his iconic status. Nintendo Power listed Glass Joe as one of their favourite "punching bags" in video games.[28] GamePro's Will Herring called Glass Joe "criminally fragile", and a character that fans of the series grew up with.[29] An editor for UGO Networks described Glass Joe's weak fighting ability as a good tactic by Nintendo to encourage players to spend their money on the arcade Punch-Out!! by instilling a sense of accomplishment in players who defeat him.[30] GameSpy's Ryan Scott described him as "newbie fodder" and wrote that he brought players into a "false sense of familiarity" for when tougher opponents showed up.[31] GamesRadar's Mikel Reparaz including him in his list of the "13 unluckiest videogame bastards". He added however that there is something "weirdly poignant about a man who fights a hundred matches and loses all but one of them, but keeps on fighting".[32] UGO's Chris Plante listed the fight with him as the 15th greatest NES moment and wrote that while most people remember the in-game fight with the real life boxer Mike Tyson, Glass Joe shows that "crushing someone into oblivion remains entertaining for decades".[33] Glass Joe has been used as a litmus test for the usability of NES controllers such as the U-Force and the Power Glove.[34][35][36]

Glass Joe has received criticism for his weakness. GamesRadar's Brett Elston wrote that he has "forever been the lamest boxer in the series" and that "he can barely throw a punch".[20] GamePro's Dave Rudden listed him as the 11th skinniest video game character and wrote "the fact that his losses almost outnumber his weight speak more about his ineptitude as a boxer than the inability for skinny dudes to fight".[37] GameDaily's Robert Workman wrote that Glass Joe was a "wuss" in the NES game as well as a "no-talent schlub who has no business stepping into the boxing ring".[38] Game Informer's James Cowan called the fight against Glass Joe a "total joke".[39] Wired's Earnest Cavalli described Glass Joe as a "living metaphor for physical weakness".[40]

While he is known for his weakness, his appearance in the Title Defense mode of the Wii Punch-Out!! received attention for his increased difficulty which was due in part to the addition of headgear. Kotaku's Michael McWhertor found this incarnation of a character he described as a "frail French fighter" and a "perennial punching bag" to be surprisingly difficult.[41] Editors for GamePro used Glass Joe's new incarnation as a demonstration of how difficult the Title Defense mode could be.[42] Official Nintendo Magazine's Chris Scullion wrote that while Glass Joe could not normally "fight sleep", they were unable to beat him at first in Title Defense mode, which got rid of any worries they had about how Next Level Games handled the series.[3] GameSpot's Tom McShea wrote "the sad fact is, you will lose to Glass Joe, for maybe the first time in your life".[43] 1UP.com's Scott Sharkey found the difficulty of Glass Joe surprising after fighting Mr. Sandman.[44] In spite of Glass Joe's enhancements, Game Informer's Bryan Vore still found him "tremendously easy".[45]
